  4. How do I unlock my PIN for Windows 11?

    Windows 11 - Windows hello PIN and Camera face recognition do not work

    Hi,

    Windows 11 - Windows hello PIN and Camera face recognition do not work, for both of them, when reaching the final step, the window closes before saying completed, and nothing happens

    Steps to replicate on my PC - WIN 11:

    1. Situation 1 - Trying to change PIN:
      1. Settings - Accounts - Pin(Windows Hello)
      2. Although i'm currently using a PIN to log into my user, I only get 1 button: Setup
      3. Press Setup - Create a PIN - Next
      4. Making sure it's you - I add my PIN - Just a moment - the window closes, nothign happens
    2. Situation 2 - Trying to add Face recognition:
      1. Settings - Accounts - Facial recognition (Windows Hello) - Setup
      2. Welcome to Windows hello - Get started
      3. My face is scanned, i get a blue loading square, and dots on my things
      4. A couple more things
      5. Improbve recognition - if i skip this steps it does not make a difference
      6. A couple more things - Set up PIN
      7. Microsoft Account - Create a PIN - Next
      8. Making sure it's you - I add my PIN - Just a moment - the window closes, nothign happens
    I initially thought my webcam was the issue, but then chaging the PIN does not work either, and it has nothing to do with the camera

    I talked with someone from support (support request number is 1056162110), and we tried different things until 3:30 AM my time, about 1:30 h.

    On my laptop (win 10) with the same account, face recognition and PIN works, I have not tried to change them.

    Is there any way to reset PIN on an account level? Or repair windows?

    What else should i try?
